    It is honestly one of the best games I have played on IOS and no other game like it on IOS can match its superiority. Not even minecraft pe. I jsut can't wait for this new update I feel it could be the best one yet although thats what I keep saying about every update they have. :p

    If any one has this game you need to trust me and do this for the new 1.2 patch that is coming out:

    Farm (dig) gems!

    The new patch is going to bring a new crafting table with it for gems which most people here will know this will let us socket items. However, from what I can tell the gems we have now from rocks will be unpure and have to be shaped back into what they are at the moment.

    So if fans of this game like me have any sence, we will horde all the gems and wait patiently for 1.2! Personally I love the gem blocks but I think this change is going to be very big.

    ---------------------

    On about page 20 of the crafting manual there is the cooking section, it shows the two modules you can use to make food with. However, it also shows two tables that pancakes are sitting on... Does any one know how to make these tables?

    I don't think that you can make those tables however their are tables in the game that can be made. You can then display your items on those tables but not the ones I'm seeing in the Cooking Addons section.

    Better late than never; Junk Jack is a masterpiece. Personally, I like it better than Minecraft and that's saying a lot, because Minecraft is one of the best games ever made, IMO.

    I'm a relatively new iphoner and just picked this up today. I was so floored by how responsive the controls are and the depth of it all that I had to look for a thread about this game just to post how freaking awesome this game is. Enjoying it more than I did Terraria and a crapton more than I did Minecraft O: Thanks for this game guys! Can't wait to see how far you go with it.

    I finally decided to try out Minecraft on Monday and I am hooked. Then I figured out how to play Junk Jack and went crazy. I played yesterday so long that my thumb is sore. I can't play now because it hurts :(. It's so much fun. It's so hard not to play it.
